Hello February My Good Friend (This Month I Shoot My Shot!)

I'm shooting my shot this month, and no, it's not because of Valentine, it's because I'm taking my destiny into my own freaking hands.

I've bought my flight tickets and I've made my hotel reservation. We're going to settle this once and for all.

It's the most annoying thing ever, when people want you, just not the one you actually want. I tell myself maybe if he lives in Lagos... But he doesn't.

We talk and he has invited me to Abuja a couple of times, but just as a friend, I think. I can't have that, we cannot be just friends. And I don't attach much to his invites, he can afford to fly me in and give me a 5-star treatment just for the fun of it, and that doesn't sit well with me. That said, he hasn't made me an invitation in a while...

I've never felt this way about anyone else.

I met him in 2012, that's the only time I've seen him. We didn't even talk. He was at my friend's wedding, i saw him talk to her once, that was the only time I ever saw him but the minute I saw him I felt like I'd always known him, I felt like he's someone who's meant to play a major role in my life. I knew he wasn't just anybody.

So I was shell-shocked when I asked my friend who he was. "Oh, that's my cousin I've been telling you about, the one that's married to...."

Wait. What? He can't be married! He's supposed to be for me, there's a mistake somewhere! He. Cannot. Be. Married.

But you see, he was.

I never talked to him or saw him after that, but I never forgot him. Through the years he'd occasionally cross my mind; my love that never was. I would occasionally ask my friend how he was doing and she would say "fine".

Then suddenly sometime in 2017 my friend casually says in a conversation "Oh, did I tell you *Tariah got a divorce?"

Aha! It made sense. I was right after all, he was meant for me!

I was still with my ex so I didn't think much of it. However, a few months later I boldly asked my friend to give me Tariah's number. She said she would have to ask him first 😒

She did, and guess what, he said No. 😳😳😳

I felt let down but I knew it wasn't the end. A few weeks later my friend said Tariah had been asking of me, that he asked for my number but she refused, because she wanted to do shakara on my behalf.

I told her, sis, I did not send you any message. Give that man my number before you become unfortunate in life!

Two days later I got a message saying Hi, I didn't need to ask who it was, immediately responded; "I hear you've been looking for me".

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Well, not quite.

We chatted for a couple of hours and I confirmed what I'd always suspected, this guy is meant for me.

The next couple of days had us spending hours on the phone, talking. We connected. I felt like I'd always known him. I could talk to him about almost anything and he was very open with me too. The chemistry was real and as thick as my thighs.

Unfortunately he kind of switched off in December. We talk a few times but he sounds distant. He's still warm and witty and lively, but distant. I hear him asking me questions but I hear him not listening to my answers.

I've met a lot of people, and gone on the usual dates and occasionally get spoiled by a few. Oh, did I tell you my yoruba demon made a reappearance, and you know that one knows how to spoil a girl senseless... But in all this I cannot stop thinking about Tariah.

Realistically, I know nothing about him but he's everything I want. I cannot explain this, it makes no sense, I know. But I've never felt this way ever, like this person is supposed to be in my life. This is not a crush, it's an intuition.

And since I cannot wait for fate or Cupid, I've decided to take matters into my hands. I'm going to take a trip, I'm going to settle this.

It's either he's mine or he's not.

No, I'm not going to do anything overly bold or crazy. I simply intend for us to meet casually and talk over food or drinks and see if there's really something there, or if I'm merely delusional.

I don't even know what this guy looks like anymore, I mean I've only seen him once, for about 3 seconds. The thing is, in those 3 seconds I felt a lot. I felt his aura. He has a great aura, something my friend attests to as well. I also just felt, like, this is it!

So I'm going to find out.

I may or may not keep you posted, depending on how things go. 😚😚😚

Haha!

And on this note, I wish you a truly tremendous February. I've just shared one specific thing I intend to do this month. Kindly return the favour, tell me yours. ❤️

I must say I luv dis mood. Pls come to abj, and we have to hook up too. Happy February Baby. Wow, so I haven't spelt this month in a long time? I intend to learn how to drive. May my nuts be cracked benevolently.

Omg, what if he's now in a wheelchair and knows he doesn't stand a chance with the gorgeous Thelma but she still loves him anyway and after 2 weeks of wickedly acrobatic bedroom moves and absolute debauchery she's set to leave. At the airport he suddenly stands up for the first time in 3 years and utters the 3 words every woman wants to hear, 'stay with me'. I'm crying already.

I intend to read. That's all. No time for any other thing in my life right now. Except maybe pressing my phone. In the meantime, dear ttb people, I am badly in need of a vacation. So this is me soliciting that you guys sponsor my trip to wherever after my final exams😀😀. Much love y'all

There is still shooting shots going on! Ok oh, Thelma should keep us updated anyhow it goes and best of luck too.For February, I am continuing with my exploratory visits to new places, going to Lisbon and Porto in Portugal, excited about the wine tour already!

This February is for shooting o! I'm taking a second shot at Dark Chocolate (don't know why I bothered stopping the first time, addicted much) The stars seem to be more aligned for our matter.I'm also drawing outside the box (my 2018 life plan actually) and I'm learning to ride!! I'm thinking I might as well live it up now I'm single and unencumbered and hey, I only live once so this year, I'm finally seriously thinking of getting a Hayabusa for my birthday! Already started saving up. Hey T!!! I've missed you!

i love this! im tempted to do same. there is a person in america ive known for 10 years. in 2014, we fell in love over text messages and calls and skype. then we 'broke up'. 2017, we sorta reconnected and we both know theres something. ive been telling myself im going to make that trip so that i can know what is really going on so i can open my heart fully or close the chapter forever. im still thinking. lets know how your abuja trip goes

Amazing Story Shared by Dr. Ben Carson on Facebook, i thought it is inspiring and i decided to share;

The Australian ex-model Turia Pitt suffered burns to 65 per cent of her body, lost her fingers and thumb on her right hand and spent five months in hospital after she was trapped by a grassfire in a 100 kilometre ultra-marathon in the Kimberley. Her boyfriend decided to quit his job to care for her recovery. Days ago, in an interview for CNN they asked him: "Did you at any moment think about leaving her and hiring someone to take care of her and moving on with your life?"

His reply touched the world:

"I married her soul, her character, and she's the only woman that will continue to fulfill my dreams."

*** This made me very reflective. I just wonder; if the person you love today encounters an incident or accident that transforms who they are physically, it could be amputation, it could be paralysis, it could be severe burns that scald their flesh beyond recognition, w…

Good morning people! Just checking in to sign the register. Lol. It's been a very busy week and it looks like it might be an even busier weekend. I was hoping to get some writing done when I got to the airport yesterday but I even almost missed my flight. It was hopeless trying to do any work on the plane as it was bumpy af, and this toddler behind me wouldn't stop screaming in piercing shrieks like he was being exorcised. I got into town pretty late and needed to keep an appointment ASAP. I'm heading out right now and it's going to be a long day, but thought I should drop this first. Have a splendid day. Im'ma be back soon.

He was my coursemate, crush, then my boyfriend.... he was superintelligent, smart, tall, dark and handsome. Believe me he gotswag, but he didn't seem to notice me. (I'm a nerd but a sassy oneif I say so myself). So oneday I decided to take it to another level.. After listening to a song "IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY TELL THEM THAT YOULOVE THEM and watching the season film of The Secret Life ofAmerican Teenagers. ..when Amy Jeugerns mum told her "you are onlyyoung once". LOL that part got me. Hope you know what i mean?

So one thing led to another till one unusual Saturday. I invitedhim to my house and he came. The guy got swag, he even camewith a packet of durex condom. We talked for a while and and and and and andKai! See how you are serious dey read this story....! My…

A side chick is commonly known as a mistress or a woman that’s romantically involved with a man who is in a committed relationship. However after doing some reflecting, I realize that’s not the only type of side chick. I want to discuss “the new side chick”–a woman who decides to stay by a man’s side after he has expressed his lack of relationship intentions with her through his words or actions. So many women have made this mistake at least once in their lifetime, and unfortunately I’ve done the same thing. I like to think of the new side chick as an appetizer. You’re there just to satisfy the immediate appetite of the man, but as soon as that mouth-watering entrée comes out to the table, you will get pushed to the side, literally. Why? Because that entrée is what he really wanted; he went to the restaurant to order steak, not hot wings. You were just a placeholder, fling, temporary commitment, or maybe even just a “good ol time” until what he really wanted was presented to hi…

I'm in an amebo mood tonight. Don't ask me, I honestly don't know why. Also I'd like to share too but I'd do that anonymously in the comment section. Tonight I want to talk about secrets. It's ok, we can all be anonymous. Is it true that EVERYBODY has a secret? Is there anyone here who doesn't have a secret? I'd really like to know; You're a completely open book and there's not ONE thing about you that you wouldn't mind other people knowing about? Please raise your hands up. And for the rest of us, what's something about you that no one knows, or very few people know? Who's got a dark secret here, or a weird one, or a funny one even? I really don't mean to be invasive but I don't want to be the only one sharing, plus I think hearing other people's secrets is quite fun, don't you think?

Hey guys, a while back blog reader F said something about creating an Open Keypad post, where you can write whatever you want in the comment section. I thought it was a fun idea!
So who is interested? Comment on anything you feel like, ask me or anyone a question, talk about how your day went, your job, your interests, tell us something about you that we don't know, share a testimony with us, rant about anything you feel like, talk about your crush/boo/spouse/relationship/marriage, challenges you're facing, ANYTHING AT ALL!
I'll only make one request; that we stay civil.

(F it was you who made this suggestion, right? I'm not too sure and I can't even remember the post the comment was made on).
BTW please Ejoeccome out come out, wherever you are!

TTB readers doesn't this tweet below remind you of something? That mail that someone sent me a few weeks back. But why on earth should a man sleep with his son's fiancé? But what am I saying, some men even sleep with their daughters...

Oh well, I'm throwing the question to you. What has happened in your life that you never saw coming, you never hesperred it, you never imagined could happen, you never imagined could happen to you?
It could be good, it could be bad, it could be ugly. Do tell!
And it can be more than one. Let me tell you a few.
-owning a blog
-week long dry fast at Prayer City (I never hesperred it).
-staying in an (emotionally) abusive relationship.
The others require anonymity. LOL. Now over to you.
